<p>My feelers indicate that a State House summit to discuss ICT matters has finally been scheduled for Monday next week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unlike my fellow columnist <a>Dr David Ndii</a>, nobody from the house on the hill has bothered to extend me an invite to honour or turn down.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Considering that the chances of that State House invite materialising on my desk are close to zero, I have opted to ask some of the questions that have been bothering the ICT community right here.</p>
